Audi Q8 enjoys its first upgrades

ABT Sportsline has managed to be among the first to release a tuning package for the flagship Audi SUV, the Q8. The upgrade increases the engine output and brings in a few exterior and interior improvements.

Straight from the factory, the Audi Q8 is capable of 286 hp (213 kW) and 600 Nm (443 lb×ft) of torque. Once upgraded, these numbers go up to 330 hp (246 kW) and 650 Nm (479 lb×ft). Too bad the atelier never mentioned just how much better the car now performs in terms of acceleration.

Buyers of the Q8 by ABT may also opt for one of the two available 22-inch wheel sets: the ABT FR, with polished spokes, and the ABT Sport GR, with a concave rim base.

The interior only has two new things to boast so far. There is a new metallic Start-Stop switch and the door welcome lights that project the word “ABT” on the asphalt next to the car.

The atelier later plans to design a complete body kit for the car and come up with more interior options.
